At dawn, the people in the cave had recovered their energy after a night's rest, and each took stock of the equipment to be taken out later.
There were a lot of stone tools brought from the tribe, and there were some spare stone tools in the cave, but it was impossible to reload them when they went out for hunting, so they only needed to carry some of them.
Shao Xuan carried a long spear, three short spears on his back, and the stone knife given by Lao Ke. Compared with other people, Shao Xuan didn't bring many things. He was only participating in hunting for the first time. The first thing to do was to adapt and observe.
After eating something, Mai pushed away the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave.
The sun had not yet come out, and the wind outside brought cool moisture into the cave, which refreshed people's spirits.
The place where the cave is located is relatively remote, and there is a steep slope not far ahead. If you roll down from here, it is estimated that you can roll directly to the foot of the mountain. There were no trees around, and no animals were seen.
Walking out of the cave, Shao Xuan could see the mountain peaks surrounded by clouds and mist in the distance, as well as the basin below the mountain. Ignoring the threatening beasts hidden inside, this mountain forest is still very beautiful.
"Before hunting, you need to understand the rules of life of the prey. Small prey like rabbits usually don't come out during the day, and most of them come out to forage at night." Lang Ga said to Shao Xuan when they went down the mountain, and pointed out a few weeds to Shao Xuan. And nibbling marks on plant leaves, which are left by animals such as hares that are active around at night.
"Wild sheep are generally not near this mountain, but there are a few mountains over there, but sometimes they can be seen here. In winter, they usually come out to feed during the day, and in summer, they come out in the morning and evening. They hide in the valleys to rest during the day. I will show you after passing through the basin in a few days. There are also some small prey that like to move on the edge of the woods, and are generally hidden in the bushes and mountainside terraces during the day. Resting under the trees, only coming out to feed in the early morning and evening…”
Shao Xuan listened carefully to Lang Ga's words, and wrote all these down in his heart. This is the knowledge that must be understood to survive in this place. Only by understanding the living habits of the prey can we target and improve efficiency.
"In addition, when looking for prey, you can first check the traces carefully, such as fresh scratches on the trees, clear footprints on the ground, etc., which means that there are prey moving here recently. Generally speaking, as long as you do not want to destroy the surrounding area If you feel like the prey has seen you, you can hold your breath, just like the beaver before, they may also be seeing people for the first time, and curiosity will Worse than fear. By the way, warriors like you who have just awakened have insufficient abilities, try to avoid those large beasts, and the beasts should stay far away, otherwise you will become their prey yourself ."
As he was talking, Lang Ga paused, looked carefully at the traces on the ground, and observed the grass next to him, "There are wild boars here."
Looking along some subtle traces, Lang Ga went over to discuss with Mai: "There is a little wild boar nearby. Anyway, I haven't entered the hunting center yet. I'll take Ah Xuan and the others to do some activities first."
"Okay." Mai finished talking to Lang Ga, and then said a few words to Qiao next to him.
Qiao and Mai are husband and wife. When Shao Xuan heard the name of Qiao for the first time, he joked with Lang Ga that the two were really married. Unfortunately, Lang Ga did not understand what Shao Xuan meant at all.
In this team, there are only seven female warriors, and Qiao is the strongest among them. Buckwheat husband and wife are both intermediate totem warriors. In the past, when they went out to hunt, they each brought ten people to hunt separately. After the hunting, the husband and wife reunited.
According to the action plan negotiated with Maizao, Qiao left with a group of people to track the big horned deer.
Mai continued to follow the original route with the rest of the people.
"Lang Ga, you and Ang and the others go to the wild boar. I and the others will look over there. Don't go too far."
"Know!"
Lang Ga has set up traps in many places on the mountain, ranging from rope traps, falling rock traps, and picket pile traps. Lang Ga pointed them to Shao Xuan one by one and told him not to fall into them.
Soon, Lang Ga found the trace of the wild boar and asked Shao Xuan and "Spear" to wait here, and he drove the wild boar over.
Shao Xuan stood on a tree and carefully watched the surroundings. Although Mai and Lang Ga said that there were no large beasts around, some insects and snakes had to be guarded.
There was a wild boar's cry not far away, and it was approaching here. It was obvious that Lang Ga's drive had played a role, and the wild boar did not run in other directions.
Listening carefully to the movement over there, Shao Xuan held a long spear in his left hand, and drew a short spear from his back in his right hand.
"You can see how I did it later. For those prey, you can trip over them first and then kill them with a spear," said "Spear" standing on another tree. There is a bit of pride in the words. Without the others, this guy no longer pretends to be a senior.
Shao Xuan glanced at him, and continued to listen to the sound that was getting closer.
Both Lang Ga and Mai said it was a small wild boar, but listening to the news, Shao Xuan did not feel its "smallness" at all. The wild boar that rushed out of the bush was at least four hundred pounds! At first glance it looks like a bear!
But obviously, such a man can only get a "small" evaluation in the mouth of Lang Ga and the others.
The wild boar ran fast.
The wild boar seemed to realize that there was an ambush here, and turned around. Shao Xuan quickly chased after him, and the "spear" on another tree ran in front of Shao Xuan.
Whoosh!
A short spear shot at the running wild boar like an arrow from the string.
bass!
The spear head shot straight into the ground, and the handle passed sideways with the wild boar.
Its response was really fast, but after the first short spear was shot, the second one was also shot. Suddenly, there was a piercing bark in the woods.
A second short spear was inserted into its neck, half way in.
I saw the wild boar screaming, carrying the short spear pierced on its body, and rushing towards a large tree next to it. down.
There was only a little blood on the tip of the short spear that was rubbed off. Obviously, the throw of the "spear" just now did not cause much damage to the wild boar.
Throwing twice in a row didn't work. "Spear" was annoyed. Just now, he was in a hurry to perform, but he didn't get the timing right, so the planned three consecutive throws could not be completed, and he continued to chase with the third short spear in his hand. He didn't notice any movement from Shao Xuan behind him, and thought to himself: Even if he misses the shot, it's alright to not miss next time, the guy in the back is not as good as me!
For many people who are hunting for the first time, even if they have heard the hunting stories and have a solid theoretical foundation, when they actually go into battle, they find that they have no time to think about it. Therefore, people who hunt for the first time are either too impatient and miss the timing of the shot, or they feel that they cannot find the best shot and wait, and finally realize that the opportunity has been missed.
Therefore, from the point of view of "Spear", although he didn't fully grasp the timing just now, at least he got in. It's better than Shao Xuan, who has been slow to take action.
The wild boar that was stabbed now not only did not slow down, but instead looked like it was fighting, running faster than before!
Just when the "spear" was about to shoot, he heard a rapid and light sound of "whoosh" behind him, and the spearhead was already stuck on the ground in the next moment. Just now, the spear almost rubbed the front hoof of the wild boar and shot into the ground, and the handle obliquely stopped in front of the front hoof of the wild boar. And the wild boar obviously did not expect to be stopped like this suddenly. The speed of the forward did not stop. It was tripped by the spear and did not respond. The second short spear followed, just in front of the wild boar. Before the hoof!
The wooden spear handle was broken by the tyrannical force of the wild boar, and the wild boar also tripped over the two short spears in succession, rolled on the ground, and was about to get up when a figure jumped up from the tree next to him and shot at it. .
Like a meteor, the spear fell straight down from the sky and stabbed into the neck of the wild boar.
The piercing scream sounded, even worse than before, making people's ears hurt.
When a spear was inserted, Shao Xuan did not immediately pull out the spear, but held the spear and used it again.
puff!
The spearhead almost pierced the neck of the wild boar, and the howling of the wild boar stopped abruptly. Only four hooves were still struggling, but they were powerless, and the strength of the struggle was getting smaller and smaller.
